Zambia Philately: Zambian Airways Corporation (Alitalia)

On 1 September 1967, following the Zambia Airways Act, which appointed the carrier to operate both domestically and internationally after the collapse of Central African Airways (CAA), Zambia Airways Corporation was formed in order to take over Zambia Airways, the former CAA’s subsidiary.

Technical and management assistance was provided by Alitalia and operations started on 1 January 1968. A charter subsidiary named National Air Charter Zambia (NACZ) was formed in 1974; operations began in March the same year . By 1975 the contract with Alitalia was cancelled and a similar one was signed with Aer Lingus.
